Iran’s former foreign minister blames America for Raisi helicopter crash

By

Surprisingly, Iran didn’t conjure up some absurd accusation against Israel for the crash of the helicopter that was carrying President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and other regime leaders and dignitaries. But Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s former foreign affairs minister and a close friend of John Kerry, did blame America.

Just days ago, Iran offered its nuclear “expertise” to other nations, particularly neighboring Muslim countries. Nuclear programs cost tens of billions of dollars. Add in the cost to operate Iran’s deadly global proxies. Yet according to Zarif, the regime couldn’t afford a reliable helicopter for its own president and elite government leaders because of American sanctions. He said this even after the Biden administration approved a sanctions waiver that gave Iran $10 billion.

So is allocating exorbitant amounts of money to killing Israelis and dissidents more important than the life of Iran’s leaders? This is the implication of Zarif’s accusation, since every country prioritizes funds.

Unfortunately, anti-American and anti-Israel activists are vulnerable to propaganda; they’ll believe anything.

“Iran’s Ex-FM Blames US for Raisi Chopper Crash,” Iran International, May 20, 2024:

Mohammad Javad Zarif, former Foreign Minister of Iran, blamed American sanctions on aviation parts for the crash of a chopper carrying President Ebrahim Raisi.

In an interview with state TV, he said the sanctions compromise Iran’s access to modern aviation facilities, thus implicating the US in the Sunday chopper crash in northwestern Iran killing Ebrahim Raisi and his entourage including Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

“One of the culprits behind yesterday’s tragedy is the United States, because of its sanctions that bar Iran from procuring essential aviation parts,” Zarif asserted during the interview.

His statement comes amid the ongoing geopolitical tension where Iran has increasingly aligned itself with Russia and China, raising questions about its continued reliance on outdated American helicopters like the Bell 212.

The Bell 212, a civilian adaptation of the Vietnam War-era UH-1N “Twin Huey,” crashed in heavy fog while traversing mountainous terrain. Developed in the late 1960s for the Canadian military and introduced in 1971, this model was designed to offer enhanced carrying capacity with its dual turboshaft engines….

  1. Check and see if Zarif is John Kerry’s daughter’s father-in-law. Talk about “All In The Family!”

  2. We all heard the drum roll for this accusation.
    Had iran not become part of the location for satan’s throne, had they not taken a bunch of Americans hostage; had they not threatened, called for ‘death to America,’ and killed Americans, perhaps there would have been no sanctions.
    Had they used the money bo handed them, and more biden (again bo) handed them for good and not for evil, they could have purchased parts.
    Even then, using equipment made decades ago, knowing by now every part would have needed to be replaced…entropy is constant…they had to know there was bound to be an accident.

    But, America must be at fault in the death of this evil scum. Ok, I had nothing to do with the sanctions, the helicopter, the fog, the mountains, the lousy piloting, but I’m happy to take the credit. Thanks.

    • You nailed it, Somehistory.

      Total incompetence of Iranian leadership. Spent billions on proxy armies, missiles, drones, and nuclear development yet couldn’t design and build a helicopter in 44 years.

  3. IT sounded more like the result of some dumb scumbags flying a helicopter in bad weather, but if American sanctions on aviation parts had some part to play in it, then well done America. The death of this Iranian leader means there is one piece of evil human trash less that is now fouling up the world.

    • Tim, anyone who knew how very foul and evil was this human scum, might have prayed that he would not prosper and that the evil would be eliminated.

      Perhaps an unseen Hand was at work, and used the sanctions to bring things to this point.
      Whatever the actual ’cause,’ you are correct…one less piece of evil trash to foul things up for others.

      • Yes, somehistory, good riddance to this evil scumbag and off to Hell as his eternal reward for the evil he did during his rotten life. From a decent human being’s point of view, he was an appalling human being, but islam is so evil that many Muslims probably see him as a saint. What an evil load of garbage islam is.

        • I couldn’t agree more, Tim. everything they say is ‘good’ is truly evil.

    • Tim, the Iranians USED to be an intelligent people, pre Islam of course, now they all seemed to devolve, no surprises there. So the crash was inevitable.
      My missus however thinks there was an equal part of divine intervention as well.
      Maybe the yanks used their black arts and created the fog as well as moving the mountain, who knows.
      But this turds demise does leave a warm and fuzzy feeling in the old ticker doesn’t it?

      • Yes, Keith O, it was good news alright although the sadistic scum sucking bastard probably died instantly whereas he should have suffered a lot more as so many of his tortured victims no doubt did over the years. Alas, so many more of these evil creatures to get rid of. islam, what a curse it is for the human race. I was a bit surprised when I heard about the helicopter crash and a big time person like him flying in such bad weather, but, hey, I guess the fuckwit thought that allah would protect him or some such bullshit and since allah is all bullshit that didn’t work out too well.

  4. So typical of the entire Islamic mindset to blame others (here America) but never apologizing for its own behavior, an example being (and so many others could be proffered), the enslavement of more black Africans (and including the castration of the males) than any other kind of entity—nation state, ideology, etc.—in all of history.

    The West has apologized profusely for its role in the iniquity which was the African slave trade, but when has the Islamic world apologized for this even though its role in such evil was at least ten times worse than what the West ever did. Hell, it’s still going on as Islam continues to serve as an excuse for Arab supremacism over others, most certainly even to this day as evidenced by “events” in Sudan and Mauritania, et al. The very creation and existence of the new nation of South Sudan only validates my point here.

    As an aside, I consider all Muslims ignorant human beings. Many are not evil, some are even good overall, even though their religion is evil (just as not all Marxists are per se evil but nonetheless Marxism is evil), but all are confused. No more so than willing black adherents to Islam. Arguably, no greater collection of confused human beings exist on Earth, doubly so with willing black females to Mo’s warped creed.

    • Spot on, Wellington. If you are a woman islam tells you that you are only worth half of what a male is. How sick it is to belong to such a bullshit religion. If you are black, islam also tells you are second rate. It must be so weird for blacks and women to belong to such a load of codswallop as islam is. They should all ditch islam but, of course, if you try that, Muslims will kill you. islam is more like a society of gangsters than it is an even half decent religious ideology.

    • Not all muslims are ignorant, many are evil, they understand Islam very well, and they stick to Islam because Islam satisfy what they want.

      Even the “good” people, they somehow may know what Islam teaches, yet they are still muslims for some reasons, can we consider them as good people? For example, they know that apostasy must be punished by death, or muslims can rape women who are halal for them, or muslims can marry little girls. Are these “good” people really good people?

      • Yes, there must be huge numbers of Muslims who just love being part of such an evil religion, abu taleb, a religion that tells them that it is fine and dandy to go around murdering, raping, honour killing, etc. islam is a very convenient type of religion for extremely evil people. What complete bullshit it is to believe that there is a god, allah, who says that all this evil behaviour is quite OK. It is load of nonsense made up by a bunch of very evil men.

  8. It’s very unlikely that America had any part in the death of Rasis., but on the other hand if she did ,then its it should be said “Hooray for the USA”

  9. Many Iranians have every right to be glad that this cruel oppressive tyrant is now dead.

    Those those thugs in uniform, who are called “the Revolutionary Guards, he was able to infect dreadful terroristic fear on the Iranian people.

    Related to this Benjamin Franklin had rightly and wisely printed in his periodical POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC “Those who are feared are also hated.”

  10. As Daniel Greenfield pointed out in his 3pm post, it was an accident, nothing more. Mr Occam happens to be right on this one, as he pointed out

  11. The good news a little evil man is GONE. But do not fear another little evil man stands ready to take his position, there’s always one.

  13. It was definitely Americas fault
    one of the helicopters gifted to Iran was defective
